Replacing Temperature sensors

I know I've touched on this before but is there any body out there who has changed the temp sensors on the T 500 and if so what did you use and where from. Damn things gone off again

I had to after buggering mine up - never did get one to fit the 5mm hole - I just used a food probe style one, and used flour paste to seal it, not ideal, but functional.

The probe on this one fits the housing, a wrap of PTFE if not. Only reads up to 70oC, but that should be okay if running in the standard config.
